00:00Ladies and gentlemen, the Paris Olympic Games are underway.

00:16Caden Helmer's here bringing you the stuff you may have missed from day one.

00:20That's if you managed to sleep through the night and you weren't woken by your housemate

00:23or your neighbor.

00:24If they did wake you, they've got no reason to apologize because what a morning for our

00:29Golden Girls to start things off.

00:31It was dubbed the race of the century, the reigning Olympic champion, a seven-time Olympic

00:35gold medalist and a rising star, yet it was our Ariane Titmuss holding off Summer McIntosh

00:40and Katie Ledecky in the 400 metre freestyle final.

00:44All three have held the world record over this distance in the past three years, yet

00:48it was Titmuss who reigned again.

00:50She becomes just the second Australian woman after Dawn Fraser to defend her individual

00:54Olympic swimming title.

00:56That's history, 60 years in the making.

00:59Didn't stop there though.

01:00Shana Jack, Molly O'Callaghan, Emma McKeon and Meg Harris are the toast of the nation

01:05at the four by 100 metre freestyle relay.

01:08Emma McKeon's sixth Olympic gold medal means that she now has more than any other Australian

01:13in history, surpassing the mark set by Ian Thorpe.

01:17First though came Grace Brown to say she clinched gold in the women's cycling time trial would

01:21be a bit of an understatement.

01:23She blitzed the competition by 91 seconds.

01:25Yes, that's 91.

01:28More medals up for grabs overnight with McKeon back in the pool.

01:31Skateboarding's underway.

01:32Say what you want about it.

01:33As an Olympic sport, it is very good viewing.

01:36Women's sevens are in the mix after the men's side bowed out, lost the bronze medal game.

01:42Until next time.
